Tammy Barton

Tamara Jill Barton (born 27 January 1978)[1] is an Australian entrepreneur and the founder of MyBudget.

Barton is recognised as one of Australia's most influential businesswomen[3] and she regularly appears in the media as an expert on personal money management and household budgeting.

Barton started MyBudget as a home-based business in Adelaide in 1999 at the age of 22 after working at a debt collection agency, where she witnessed the damaging effects of financial stress on people.

Chairman Rob Chapman said Barton brought "strong credentials and a passionate commitment to helping South Australia prosper and grow".

During her acceptance speech at the Telstra South Australian Business Woman of the Year Awards in October 2017, Barton announced that MyBudget would be opening its first international branch, in the United Kingdom, in 2018.
